Grinnell Corporation pioneered the development of performance-designed sprinkler technology for environments where conventional water systems described in NFPA 13 do not provide adequate protection. Methods for protecting transformers, turbine shrouds, cooling towers, flammable liquid vessels, tank farms, and flammable process structures were unknown before Grinnell research contributed to the establishment of suitable design criteria. One outcome was the development of specialized nozzles to achieve specific discharge patterns. Today, SimplexGrinnell systems are installed in virtually every Special Hazards setting from power generation to automotive and aviation facilities, from LNG operations to chemical and petrochemical refining and processing facilities, from clean rooms to museums. And we’ve grown with the IT industry, protecting sensitive electronic equipment to ensure uninterrupted data processing and electronic commerce in every market sector.
